E., F., & G. are recently added tools
Made in my workshop from pure virgin Teflon (PTFE), these tools were designed especially for book artists and conservators and are excellent for use in many other applications, wherever smooth, non-marring pressure application is desired. The slickness that gives Teflon its world-wide reputation for easy cleaning, also makes these tools gentler, less damaging, and less likely to polish or mar your projects. They replace and improve upon traditional bone folders in much of their functionality.
Knock-offs of the large and small folders have become widely available in recent years, but others do not compare in quality of workmanship with these original designs, made by me here in my workshop.
The other tools shown here are not available elsewhere.
